XtaLAB Synergy-R High-flux Rotating Anode X-ray Diffractometer

Description

The XtaLAB Synergy-R from Rigaku Corporation is a single-crystal X-ray diffractometer designed for high-performance structural analysis. Its core component is the PhotonJet-R, a microfocus rotating anode X-ray source that delivers a high photon flux while requiring minimal maintenance. This source integrates a Micromax-007 HF rotating anode with a specialized optic and is offered with either copper or molybdenum anodes. The system employs a high-precision four-circle kappa goniometer for accurate sample positioning and is paired with Rigaku's HyPix-6000HE, a Hybrid Photon Counting (HPC) detector that operates without electronic noise. This combination of a bright source, a fast and accurate goniometer, and a sensitive detector facilitates rapid data collection, which is particularly beneficial for high-throughput laboratories or for studying extremely small or weakly diffracting crystals. The instrument supports shutterless data acquisition and is engineered for complete hardware and software integration, aiming to provide a streamlined workflow. It is noted for its capability in handling challenging samples such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The overall design is compact to accommodate standard laboratory spaces.
